There is always an adventure to be had in Pitlochry, whether in its beautiful mountain scenery, at a local store, or tucking into traditional Scottish food at a pub.

Things to Do in Pitlochry

The mountain of Ben Vrackie is popular challenge for walkers looking for an active day out with breathtaking views. Alternatively, make your way to Blair Castle -- the location where Queen Victoria vacationed in 1842.

For whisky fans, the Blair Athol Distillery is an absolute must. As one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, Blair Athol has its own visitor center to learn all about the process and, of course, sample the product! The Edradour Distillery is equally as good and worthy of a trip.
